A

   It's become part of the restaurant table setting; knife* fork, napkin and cellphone.

   Distracted (思想不集中的）dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a microblog photo of the meal they're about to chew down or e-mailing the boss. For many smart phone users, it's hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.

  Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存）their phones at the door a 5-per cent discount on their bills. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant ，located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back, relax, enjoy their meals and actually talk with friends and family in person.

"For us, it's really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environ?ment of home, and we want people to connect again," he explained. "It's about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we're trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and re?ally enjoy the experience and the food and the company.，，

Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cellphone usage, too. " I'm guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner, it seems like the cell?phone is part of the table setting now. On every table you look at, there's a wine glass, the silverware and the cell?phone ，，，he joked.

The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a few less than half take ad?vantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.

"I think once the server approaches the table and they're presented with the offer, they like the idea of actu?ally talking to each other again," he said.

[文章大意]手機，特別是智能手機對人們的生活影響很大。人們吃飯時，往往會以玩手機的方式來打發時間，面對面的交流變得很少。一家名叫Eva的餐廳為顧客們提供存放手機的選擇，目的是讓人們在沒有手機的干擾下進行面對面的交流。

16.  B 細節理解題，根據"...by offering customers willing to check(寄存)their phones at the door a 5-per cent discount on their bills."可知，在Eva餐廳，顧客如果把手機存放起來，就會得到5%的賬單折扣，故選B。

17.  D 細節理解題。根據第二段的"For many smart phone us?ers, it's hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand."和第三段的"…enjoy their meals and actually talk with friends and family in person."可知，吃飯時玩手機會分神，不能與同伴很好地交流，故選D。

18.  A   推理判斷題。根據第二段的"…customers constantly tex-ting friends, uploading a microblog photo of the meal they're about to chew down-"可知，許多顧客在吃飯前喜歡用手機拍照發微博，故選A。

19.  A主旨大意題。本文介紹了一家名叫Eva的餐廳，這家餐廳為顧客提供存放手機的服務，并為愿意存放手機的顧客打折，目的是讓人們不受手機的干擾，進行面對面的交流。
